President Bola Tinubu has made significant changes to his cabinet. In a major reorganization, he has scrapped the Ministry of Niger Delta and the Ministry of Sports Development.
A new Ministry of Regional Development will now oversee all regional development commissions, including the Niger Delta Development Commission and others across the country ¹.
The National Sports Commission will take over the responsibilities of the defunct Sports Ministry, while the Ministry of Tourism will merge with the Ministry of Culture and Creative Economy.
These changes were announced by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to the President on information and strategy, during the ongoing Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja ¹.
This reorganization comes after weeks of speculation about a cabinet reshuffle. It’s reported that President Tinubu had been planning to assess his ministers’ performance and make necessary changes ² ³. The goal is to improve efficiency and effectiveness in governance.
